Racgoul Plague is just a Greefers tool Thank Bioware

Maybe a good solution is to allow NPC to attack infected players. The quest says "People who are infected will be immediately shot".

Yes, your post is full of hypocrisy.

For the record, I had a grand ole time in the original Rak event, suiciding from the top level of fleet. I just don't have the time to spend on the event any more. Perhaps one day I can waste an afternoon in the future.

There are griefers in various aspects of any game. To make the assumption that not one single player participating in this particular event is a "griefer" is simply asinine. There are griefers, I just don't subscribe to the notion that there are so many of them out there to make the event as onerous as some people think it is.

that word? I don't think it means what you think it means.

people who are trying to complete a daily by waiting for 20 minutes for plague to run its course? are NOT griefers. they cannot directly attack you. they cannot speed up the course of the plague stages. they cannot infect you if you have a vaccine and they really cannot chase you down, given that they keep getting stunned. they ARE however playing the game as intended - trying to complete a daily/achievement.

sitting there on top of them however, deliberately pretending like you'd give them that completion, timing your own vaccines so that they don't? aka, ruining THEIR game play? IS in fact griefing

griefing is deliberately interfering with gameplay of other people, attempting to making it a negative experience for them.

you however, talking about how much " griefers" sucks, all the while high fiving a griefer? IS hypocritical.

/shrug. this event aside from infected spawning at planetary spaceport? is 100% optional. with or without vaccine. you CAN literally avoid participation in this event even if you don't use vaccine. becasue players CANNOT directly infect you. they cannot attack you and pass on infection that way. you have to, yourself chose to stand next to them at the moment that they blow up. THAT's on you.

In its current state is just plain messing with people so YOU can get your achievement.

So give an achievement for being infected then everyone will stand around in a group and both parties can get achievements

I'm not traumatized by it. I was pointing out that people are defending something that in every other walk of life is consider unacceptable behavior except for between CONSENTING adults(actually some places it is illegal either way). And some people basically attack those that say they truly don't want to be a part of it yet still play as if there cannot be a better choice. I personally just not play during the event so I don't have to deal with it one way or another. I find it needlessly frustrating so I opt out, but then I have other games I want to play.

However, there is no reason that people should have to deal with those people that want to grief others when with a little simple forethought(or even afterthought since this has been an issue since the event started) and it wouldn't matter? MMO's are not just for people that want to hurt others enjoyment of the game.

The vaccines and relics are "supposed" to do that but they always had issues and still don't work as needed or are gated when opting out should be an opt out. So I don't get the added resistance to correcting the issue that is still there and shouldn't be. All as if the person being griefed is in the wrong.

Thank you Bioware for giving the game greefers one more tool to make playing a PIA. You have allowed other players to spread this plague just so they can greef. Are you trying to drive players away from the game? Well I for one will not be playing till this event is over. Thank you for taking the fun out of SWTOR.

I disagree what happens is people with the plague go to the fleet stand at the GTN and infect people while they do their shopping It's BS!.

The announcement says you the plague carrier will be shot on site to damn bad that doesn't happen when you get to the fleet.

If that was installed and you happened to make it past the guards and infected people then I would say bravo to you.
